Step-by-step instructions for using Saint Minerals® Eyeliner:
1. Prepare Your Eyes: Ensure your eyelids are clean + free of any oil or residue. If desired, apply eyeshadow primer or a neutral eyeshadow base to create a smooth canvas for the eyeliner.
2. Choose Your Eyeliner Shade: Select the Saint Minerals Eyeliner pencil shade that complements your eye colour + desired look. Classic black is a versatile choice for creating a timeless smokey eye, while other shades can add a pop of colour or enhance specific eye colours.
3. Start with a Sharp Pencil: Sharpen your eyeliner pencil to a precise point using a makeup pencil sharpener. This will allow for more control + precision during application.
4. Line the Upper Lash Line: Gently lift your eyelid, starting from the inner corner of your eye. With a steady hand, draw a thin line along the upper lash line, working towards the outer corner. For a subtle look, keep the line close to the lashes. For a more dramatic effect, you can create a thicker line or a winged/cat-eye shape.
5. Line the Lower Lash Line (Optional): If desired, you can also line the lower lash line for a more intensified look. Use the eyeliner pencil to draw a thin line along the lower lash line, starting from the outer corner + moving towards the inner corner.
6. Blend and Smudge (Optional): To create a smokey effect, use a smudging brush or a cotton swab to gently blend + smudge the eyeliner. This will soften any harsh lines + create a seamless transition between the eyeliner + your eyeshadow.
